You should now be able to use Siri through your Bluetooth headset just as you would without a headset. I have seen occasional reports that certain models of Bluetooth headsets have difficulties with Siri so I’d recommend reading up on the specific unit you have or are looking to buy. Generally speaking, you shouldn’t have any issues using Siri and Bluetooth together. If you have any recommendations for Bluetooth headsets that work well with Siri, feel free to share them in the comments.

Instructions for using Siri with Bluetooth in your car:

1. To use Siri with your car’s Bluetooth system, you will first need to pair your iPhone with the car. Follow the instructions in the vehicle’s owner manual for this if you have not already done so. It’s typically very easy to do…just make sure your iPhone’s Bluetooth is “ON” under Settings-> General-> Bluetooth.

2.Once your iPhone is paired to your car’s Bluetooth, use Siri like you normally would as described here.

Siri will function just like normal, except that you will hear her responses through your car’s speakers. Now let’s just hope that when Siri grows up, she can do even more than she can today.

I have a 2007 prius. My iPhone 6 works fine with the bluetooth on the car. The only problem that I incounter is that I cannot use Siri to initiate a call. Siri and then the call is terminated before any connection is made or even rings. Any suggestions?

Are you initiating Siri just by pressing and holding the home button? Also, does Siri and your Prius’ bluetooth work for non-call functions…say asking what the weather is like? Trying to isolate if it’s a call issue or Siri issue.

When I try to use Siri thru my Bluetooth the call does not go thru. The phone is paired with the vehicle blue tooth but when I request a phone call thru Siri the phone goes back to the home screen and the vehicle blue Thoth disconnects and the radio resums playing. Any suggestions.
